Last week, I heard Hank Hanegraaf on the radio where he literally raped the book of Genesis.
He said that God punished the earth with sickness and death AHEAD of Adam’s sin, in anticipation of the Fall.
I don’t see that animals didn’t die before Adam sinned in Genesis 1:29-30, 9:1-4.
The only thing I can’t figure out is if this author has any graduate degrees.
“At the end of Day Six, God said all was “very good” (Genesis 1:31), which means no death existed on earth because death is not good “
An extremely illogical conclusion. No where in the Bible does it say ‘death is not good’. Death is ‘good’. Death is completely necessary for ‘life’. Death was the first thing on this planet. Viruses are ‘death’. Viruses are ‘dead’ until they find ‘food’ and they make ‘life’ possible. Without them, life would have ceased on Earth a LONG time ago.
The ‘fall’ of man had to do with mankind NOT following the will of GOD. God gave us ‘free will’, and Lucifer told GOD it was a mistake, because they would choose POORLY. Lucifer was correct. That was proven when Eve and Adam ‘ate the apple’ (which is another figurative simple explanation for something that was a long drawn out process, but no one at the time Genesis was written would have understood it).
